The PlaylistGabe ToroOct 9, 2013
Like its predecessor, Machete Kills is never less than busy with ridiculousness. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanOct 9, 2013
Machete Kills is gruesomely baroque trash staged with a kinetic freedom that is truly eye-popping, so you can forgive its lapses, like how it goes on a little too long. Rodriguez's only real sin as a filmmaker is that he wants to give you way too much of a crazy ultraviolent good time. Read full review

Time OutJoshua RothkopfOct 8, 2013
You’re really going for Rodriguez’s retrohappy splatter: Intestines tangle in helicopter rotors, heads pop in spring-loaded decapitations, and there’s even a new fake trailer up top. Little is believable, and that’s exactly as it should be. Read full review

The A.V. ClubJosh ModellOct 9, 2013
Machete Kills is gleefully ridiculous, one-upping the first movie’s jokes, blood, and even its massively heightened self-awareness. No matter how Rodriguez would like to pitch it, Machete Kills isn’t really an homage to exploitation movies as much as it’s a parody of them. Read full review

Film.comWilliam GossOct 3, 2013
More focused and less preachy than its exploitation-riffing predecessor, the comparably shoddy Machete Kills nonetheless peters out in the homestretch (and, for some, surely sooner). Read full review
